"Last modified" date value #273

Hello,

The "last modified" date value is always automatically being taken from the original file and then added to the meta data of the mp4's which youtube-dl-gui downloads, is this intentional and if so do you plan on making this import of the original file's meta data an optional feature in the future aswell? The thing is that this makes browsing for the files in windows explorer quite bothersome (since i have it set to "show last modified files first" by default) and right now i'm having to resort to manually changing the mp4's file meta data after downloading every time because of this... I really like your frontend btw!

@thatguy344 Setting the file modification time is part of how youtube-dl handles --add-metadata. To prevent touching the file modification time you can add --no-mtime to the command line options (see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#filesystem-options).

There is also the option "No mtime" under the Options>Extra tab.
